SIGNAL SHIELDING TECHNIQUE USING ACITVE SHIELDS FOR NON-
INTERACTING DRIVER DESIGN

Abstract

A technique for actively shielding a signal such that a signal driver of the signal
only participates in discharge events is provided. Because the signal driver only
participates in discharge events, the signal driver is non-interacting with respect to other
driver devices. Shield wires are set such that an active transition on the signal causes a
discharge of capacitance between the signal and the shield wires.
